Jeremy Clarkson rose to prominence in 2002, when he started co-hosting a British television show about cars called “Top Gear”.

In addition to that, the creators of the show have had to deal with several lawsuits that were filed against the hosts of the show, including Clarkson, for the use of racist terms on air.

I read in the papers how much I'm earning and fall about laughing because I'm sure it's not that much, otherwise I'd have an enormous boat. I'm literally not the slightest bit interested in money. I just don't pay any attention to money, it's rather vulgar.

Smokers pay £19,000 a minute to the Exchequer, and that's enough to pay for the whole police force. Or to put it another way, for every £1 we cost the National Health Service, we give it £3.60. Please don't encourage the state to dictate how I live my life.
